For the viennese presi– dent of Austrian Airlines, it is the nar– rowing of the gap between East and West. But for Hobart Earle, the Princeton-educated conductor of the Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra, it's a quicker way home to vienna. Austrian Airlines' biweekly vienna- Odessa flight, inaugurated on March 28 by a plane full of dignitaries, is the first international flight connecting Western Europe with the Black Sea port city of Odessa. A joint venture with Air Ukraine, the two-hour flight connects vienna to Odessa twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays. "it's a lucky day for the people of Odessa, it's a lucky day for Ukraine," said an animated Mr. Earle, who for the past three years has traveled nine hours — seven of them by car to Kyyiv's Boryspil Airport — between his homes in Odessa and vienna. For the remainder of the filled-to– capacity March 28 inaugural flight, the new vienna-Odessa route is an opportu– nity to conduct business, visit family or take advantage of Odessa's numerous Hobart Earle conducts the Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra at inaugural celebrations at the Odessa Airport. parks and seaside location.

Many of the controls lifted in 1992 were reimposed in Ukrainian journalists participate in U.S. study tour199 3 and this contributed to the mon– strous rise in inflation in the past year. Likewise, Ukraine's temporary currency, the karbovanets, has fallen in value since its introduction in November 1992. Recently it has been trading at well over 30,000 kbv to Si U.S. Dr. LeGall continued by noting that some of the most fundamental obstacles to economic reform are legal in nature. Aside from the trade restrictions men– tioned above, there are severe restrictions on property ownership. Workers are allowed to "lease" shares in their enter- prises; there is no permanent change of title from the state enterprise to the indi– vidual workers, in the agricultural sector, aside from the small privately owned plots of land, there has been little privati– zation. Some joint-stock agricultural con– cerns have been established, but these are by law "closed" joint-stock companies, whose shareholders' rights are very con- strained. The legal constraints have led to a shortage of investment capital and have also deterred much-needed foreign investment. Bright spots amid an economic fog Dr. LeGall noted a number of bright spots in Ukraine's economy today. Ukraine's banking system has shown sur– prising development over the past several years. Commercial banks established by large enterprises have, in many cases, Roma Hadzewycz become quite competent and sound, pro– A group of some 40 journalists from various regions of Ukraine representing regional and national news media of Ukraine viding good risk and investment analysis, recently participated in a study tour to the United States that was organized by the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church.

Likewise, there has been Orthodox Center in South Bound Brook, N.J.; the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and the Church's eparchy small-scale privatization in such cities as in Stamford, Conn., including the latter's museum; and the Ukrainian National Association headquarters in Jersey City, N.J., Kharkiv, Donetske and Lviv. where the journalists met with colleagues from Svoboda, the Ukrainian-language daily newspaper published by the UNA, and Overall, however, Ukraine's economy is in a very tight fix, having experienced The Ukrainian Weekly.
